Cooking Aids:
Gather your cooking aids: an 8-inch crepe pan or a non-stick skillet with a saucepan lid, a small saucepan, a medium bowl, a plastic spatula, and wax paper. -
Prepare the Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Cover the batter and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the bubbles subside. -
Preheat the Skillet:
Heat your crepe pan or skillet over medium-high heat until drops of water spatter when sprinkled on the surface. -
Cook the Crepes:
Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray before each crepe to ensure they slide out easily. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and immediately swirl to cover the bottom completely. Cover and cook until the center is set, about 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges with a spatula and slide the crepe onto wax paper. If the crepe sticks, cook a little longer. -
Prepare the Filling:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate syrup and 1/4 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly for about five minutes. Add 1 can of cherry pie filling and stir to combine. Keep the filling warm while you cook the remaining crepes. -
Assemble the Crepes:
Place a crepe on a flat surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the cherry-chocolate filling into the center. Fold two sides of the crepe over the filling, burrito-style. Repeat with the remaining crepes. -
Serve:
Serve the crepes on dessert plates. Drizzle with additional chocolate syrup if desired. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate-Cherry Crepes warm!
Additional Tips
- Chilling the Batter: Chilling the batter helps it relax, resulting in tender crepes.
- Swirling the Pan: The key to thin, even crepes is to swirl the pan quickly after adding the batter.
- Serving Suggestions: These crepes pair beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
